Theres a few thing id like to know, and here they are:

-Let say i wanted to get the seraph from "Extinction" , i heard about this thing called hek+, and that it could rip out tags from places.... Can anyone give me some details on that and tell me where to get it?

-I got some nice tags for some vehicles ... but when i open the tags folder, theres like 18 different folders inside that, and then when i go inside them, theres like 25 different things. Can someone tell me what to do with them so i can use them in a map? (lets use the Heavy scorpion for example)

-When i open sapien, i have to choose a scenario tag to open right? But when that open dialog box appears, theres no scenario tags in any folder, even the tutorial map that comes with it.

^^Answered, thnx^^

And lastly, does anyone here know how to make a custom vehicle? (a turret) I checked out the ghosts tutorials.. but its not the same kind of turret i need. (check out my other post "My turret idea, check it out!")

Any kind of help is appreciated.

To the 1st problem: Hek+ is in the Halo Maps Section of this site. In search, type HEK+. Now find a title that says "HEK+" in it. Then download it.

3rd problem: Did you happen to delete any of the scenario files. If not, reintall the HEK.

last one: Use Gmax or 3dsMax (which ever you have). If you use Gmax, you will need the project bluestreak JMS exporter. Get it here: http://ghost.halomaps.org/bluestreak/jms/

Thanks, but when i visited the 3ds max site, it said it cost 3.5 thousand dollars... and i highly doubt that everyone here that uses 3ds max payed 3.5k lol, can u please give me a link to just the simple 3ds max program that everyone uses? (if it costs money, then nvm)

And thnx, il re-install the Hek. But, can u give me some info on how to USE hek+?

Edit the illegal part out nightfire... And yes, use gmax, its nice.

gmax works great for making maps. It's free too.

LOL *copies the word "Keygenz" and sends it to the CIA*

I got g max, thats what i use, but then, why is it that when u go to the tags section of the website, almost all of them are for "3ds" and not g max.

Another question, when something says "its for 3ds, and.max" does the .max mean g max?

.Max is the filetype used by 3ds Max. .3ds is for a different program, and .max files can be exported as .3ds. .gmax are gmax files.

ahhhhh kk. thnx

But there are some pretty cool models out there for 3ds max, and i think im gonna stick with g max, so is ther a way to get the 3ds max files into g max?

Well.... You can find someone with 3ds and ask them to export it as .3ds, which I believe gmax can import... But that could be harder than it seems....

30 days isnt much time, especially if you're just gonna start modeling....

lol k thnx, and koryn, thnx for the welcome.
